Nvidia and Foxconn build an “AI factory supercomputer” in Taiwan

Nvidia and Foxconn have teamed up to build what they call an IA factory supercomputer in Taiwan. The project, which NVIDIA announced on Computex“will provide an infrastructure at the cutting edge of Nvidia Blackwell technology to researchers, startups and industries,” said company. Nvidia is A new local seat in Taiwan also.

The supercomputer will be propelled by 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPU. NVIDIA says the project will considerably increase the availability of IA computer science and strengthen researchers and local businesses. In this case, the Taiwan National Science and Technology Council is investing in the project. It will offer the AI ​​Cloud Computing Resources of the SuperCalculator to those of its technological ecosystem.

“Our plan is to create an industrial ecosystem focused on AI in southern Taiwan,” said Minister Wu Cheng-Wen of the Council . “We focus on investment in innovative research, the development of a strong AI industry and the encouragement of the daily use of AI tools. Our ultimate goal is to create an intelligent IA island filled with intelligent cities, and we are impatient to collaborate with Nvidia and (Foxconn) to make this vision a reality.”

Foxconn, which provides the AI ​​infrastructure of the SuperCalculator through its large subsidiary of an innovation company, will also use the system to continue its work in intelligent cities, electric vehicles and manufacturing. For example, it aims to optimize connected transport systems and other “civil resources” in smart cities and to develop advanced assistance and safety systems.

TSMC also seeks to benefit from the project. The company’s researchers will exploit the power of the supercomputer in the hope of accelerating their R&D work.

Nvidia made this announcement the same day as released His GPU GeForce RTX 5060. We gave the RTX 5060 Ti a score of 85 in our examination.
